Cylch Conference

Cylch Conference 2009, featuring the Wales Recycling Awards
22nd - 23rd October; Mercure Holland House Hotel, Cardiff

The core aim of the Cylch Conference is to raise the profile of the Welsh community recycling sector. This reflects the key Cylch objective: ‘To position the community recycling sector as an essential partner in the future of resource management in Wales’

The Cylch Conference aims to bring together private, public and community sector representatives in order to forge links and exchange ideas. The conference programme reflects the ‘bigger picture’ of the recycling scene – and the important part played by Cylch members.

We hope you’ll agree that it was a very enjoyable event this year, that stimulated some very interesting conversations and networking opportunities.

We'd like to thank all sponsors, exhibitors, contributors and delegates for helping to make this event a resounding success!
